Ten years ago he was considered crank or monomanic of the firstwater.. iffiin' flie.^ast five, years^iowerer.therohasfeeh a groat changer in Opinion concerning cremation. Thinking meneverywhere are joining the ranks of eremationists and in the very near futurewe look for legislation on the subject, requiring the incineration at least of persons dying from contagious diseases.Experience has amply demonstratedthat the most fruitful source of contagion, especially in the south, is directlyowing to the germs arising from infectedbodies, How long stall the living sufferbecause of the foolish prejudice againstcremation? It is time the law steppedin and protected its living citizens. Inthis part of the country wliere we aro notcrowded for room and where there are noeontagious diseases to speak of cremation is not so much of a necessity. Inthe crowded cities, however, the livingare constantly surrounding and overriding the homes of the dead. That thisleads to the spread of any contagious disease whose victim may be buried there isnow beyond all doubt. Here, then, iswhere the reform should begin and whereit doubtless will very soon. Every country in Europe now has legalized cremation and any legislation passed inthis country can find plenty of foreignprecedents. We are heartily in favor ofthe movement which has lately receivedafresh impetus and our columns will bealways open to communications on thesubject .*•••-As an illustration of downright ignorance Dickinson justice carries the banner. As a display of legal learning it isa pitiable farce. That any man or set ofmen must be governed by the law as interpreted by Dickinson methods is a burning shame. To an outsider it might seembetter in a case of this kind to u®ticularize, but we will#save that till some futuretime, merely stating the facti of whichevery one having legal dealings at Dickinson ia cognizant, that tie most of theexpounders of the law there are so ignorant of the rules, that even if they erredwilfully they do not kiio^ enough to cover up their tracks. We might be satisfiedto let the dead buiy its dead in Starkcounty, but that Billings count shouldbe underthe judicial jurisdiction of suchamass of ignoranco is more than we canbear with equanimity. It is time weroused frem our lethargy and demandeda county organization so that we can decide our own cases here. We' cannotpossibly be in a worse condition and anychange will be for the better. We aremuch stronger and wealthier and betterable in every way to support a county organization than is Stark county. Thettme is coining, and we hope very soon,when We will have an efficient countyontanizatioh in Billings county. As longaft THE COW BOY is published we canpromise our readers that no such ignorance can gain power in Billings as nowholds the reins in Stark.
